The Southall Collection is a major collection of Palestinian Dress dating from 1900-1930. It includes garments and accessories worn by nomadic Bedouin people as well as men, women and children living in Ramallah and Bethlehem.

This is probably a girl's head-dress, also known as wuqa or wuqayeh. It would have been placed flat on the head and tied under the chin as a bonnet by gathering the material at the back around the hair and fastening with hair bands. The piece of red linen has been trimmed with metal amulets.
